This will be my first shot at building a list--- I'm definitely a new player, but I've been reading rules and tactica voraciously so hopefully I don't make too much of a fool of myself. The idea is to make a 2k points wishlist based around shooty DE with a (mostly) Khorne based daemon attachment. Fluff wise the archon and his buddies decided that MURDER is a pretty sweet side dish to PAIN and so have been following the wake of a bloodthirster & co.

I had the original idea to include daemons because the models are cool tbh, but I think I have a halfway decent rationale for including them in this list. For starters, the two FMCs provide some anti-air vector striking, with a ~~55% chance to land a S8/AP1/Lance skyfire shot from the greater reward table. Otherwise they can smash some tanks or cleave some dudes. Screamers and jetbikes run a turbo-boosting, bladevane-ing cover screen for the shooty boats and the bloodletters. Screamers have the potential to kamikaze melta bomb some tanks. I'm hoping the daemon attachment and the bikes can provide distraction/mobile cover for what I hope is a suitably dakka gunboat squad.
As above, this is my first list so I'm all ears. I'd love to hear any general listbuilding tips, or specific tweaks to this list. I'm not certain I expect the list to be super competitive, but it'd be nice if I could at least stand a fighting chance against a decent variety of armies. Is this a realistic hope? Thanks!
